description
Social Science Small Grants are intended for self-contained research projects in the social sciences, including pilot studies. Their main purpose is to meet the cost of research assistance, research materials, data collection and analysis, and travel and subsistence in the UK and overseas.
The scheme has three priorities for funding:
- Projects that develop social science research capacity, particularly by supporting the work of those new to social science research
- Self-contained or pilot or preliminary projects that address the wider objects of the foundation, namely a broad concern with the advancement of social well-being
- Outstanding small projects in the social sciences
The research may be undertaken outside the United Kingdom.
Grants are made to UK residents who have a post with a permanent contract, or a research contract of three years or more, in a university or independent research institute in the United Kingdom. An applicant can apply to the scheme even if he or she has applied before, once any current award is completed.
Research students, whether working for a PhD or other higher degrees, are not eligible.
Awards are normally up to £7,500, although in exceptional circumstances awards of up to £12,000 may be made.
